Miriam or Esther?

I imagine Miriam would be shorted to Miri by us, if that makes a difference. Which do you prefer?
DH likes Leah but I just can't love it.

What else might I like?

I know lots of Miriams and almost all are shortened to Mimi!

I love all 3 names but Leah would be my first choice, followed by Esther and then Miriam.

Are you Jewish btw? These names are actually my 3 DDs' Hebrew names/middle names Wink

Both names are lovely. I know a Miriam who gets shortened to mim

I love Esther. It makes me think of elegant Edwardian ladies like Lillie Langtry.
